Khumariyaan, the popular music band from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, will play its mesmerising tunes in honour of the Indus River Basin. Stretching from mountains to sea, the Indus is at the heart of Pakistan's 'Living Indus' initiative, which aims to protect and restore the ecological health of the Indus River Basin. 'When the floods come', the new documentary by Nyal Mueenuddin, shows the 3,000 km odyssey of this young Pakistani filmmaker and his friends down the Indus River. It captures the most intimate stories of how people's lives along the river are inextricably bound to water and climate change. The film was produced by the Aga Khan Agency for Habitat (AKAH). Climate activists will discuss their experiences with the public. Among them are Sirbaz Khan, the second Pakistani to have scaled Mount Everest without oxygen support, and Abuzar Madhu, an artist and environmental activist of the Ravi River. A Climate Market Place will offer an opportunity to discover the innovative projects implemented by the UN and AKF to protect the environment.
